7 Oct - 20 OctImportant information about San José car hire
There are more than 12 car hire locations in San Jose, so finding the right vehicle for you shouldn't be difficult. Because even some of the on-road terrain is rough, it is recommended to rent an SUV because it will provide a more comfortable ride on gravel and dirt roads. Some rental cars in San Jose will have restrictions on off-road use, so be sure and get a clear understanding of the rules, or you could end up having to pay out of pocket if something happens to the car outside the scope of the rental agreement. San Jose car rentals may have been used on rough roads, so be sure and inspect for damage before accepting the car. There are a good number of parking areas in the city, so you should be able to find spaces to park near the sites you are visiting.
Most of the tourist sites are accessible by car. You will have more freedom if you rent a vehicle rather than trying to rely on public transportation or taxi service. You can reserve a cheap car rental in San Jose in advance of your trip through momondo. Even though some hired cars in San Jose may put restrictions on the locations, you can take the car and still be covered by insurance. Please note that the road to Monteverde has been under construction, but it is finally completely paved and open for travel. You can travel from the San Jose Airport to Monteverde by Route 606.
One important thing to know is that pedestrians do not have the right of way in Costa Rica. The people won’t expect you to wait for them to cross the street, so it is safer to just follow the rules rather than risk being rear-ended by the driver behind you who isn’t expecting your sudden stop. Many bridges in rural areas have only a single lane and cars will have to take turns crossing. Even though there is a yield sign up on one side of the bridge, generally the first car there goes first and all the cars behind them as well, then the other side crosses when it is clear. Besides that, roads have standard markings on paved roads, but note that speed limit signs are few and far between.
To drive legally in Costa Rica, you only need to have your valid driving license from your home country and your passport. It is still advisable to get an International Driver’s Permit, but not mandatory.
